How to watch Spice and Wolf in order

Spice and Wolf is a charming fantasy anime about economics, travel and an unlikely romance, and with an original series and a remake, the order can be confusing.

Adapted from Isuna Hasekura's light novels, Spice and Wolf follows travelling merchant Kraft Lawrence, who meets Holo, a centuries-old wolf deity, and agrees to help her return to her northern homeland. Their witty banter and the show's thoughtful focus on trade and currency set it apart from typical fantasy. The original anime adapted the early novels, and a 2024 remake retold the story from the beginning.

πŸ• Release Order

Here's every Spice and Wolf anime series in release order.

  1. Spice and Wolf (2008)
  2. Spice and Wolf II (2009)
  3. Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf (2024)

The 2024 series is a fresh adaptation rather than a continuation, which changes how you approach the timeline.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The original two seasons and the remake cover the same opening stories of Lawrence and Holo's journey, with the remake going further into the novels.

  1. Spice and Wolf (2008)
  2. Spice and Wolf II (2009)
  3. Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf – remake (2024)

Which Order Should You Choose?

New viewers can start with the 2024 remake, which has modern animation and continues beyond where the original stopped. Long-time fans or anyone who loves classic 2000s anime should watch the 2008 series and Spice and Wolf II first, then move to the remake for the rest of the story.
